Project Overview
Copper Notch Lodge
When your home is destroyed by a forest fire, what do you do? You rebuild with Premier SIPS! And that's exactly what one set of homeowners decided to do. This beautiful lodge-like structure was to replace a 5-bedroom residence lost to fire. With the weather a big key in the Pacific Northwest Cascade Mountain range, time was of the essence.
Benefits of Premier SIPs:
- Energy-efficiency
- Healthy indoor quality (Family had sensitivities to various building products so they hired a professional indoor air quality expert to help select building products)
- Speed of construction
- Fire resistant properties
Innovative Desgin Elements:
Being in a Seismic zone D, heavy snowfall area made total roof loads critical - especially given the rebuild of existing roof overhangs and double cantilever eave/rake overhangs. Simple engineering allowed large panels to carry the load for the full large roof without an extensive truss system.
Certifications:
Indoor Air Quality certification. Additionally, they consulted German Ph.D. Chemist (international expert on SVOCs) about strategies for sealing the underside of the SIPS roof without any toxicities.
Energy-Efficient Products:
- Premier SIPS
- 3M vapor barrier
- PBS Zero VOC SIP mastic
